1/24/13: Here is the newest and final rendition of the cover art for POC.

The above image is not the *final* cover art for Talib Kweli’s Prisoner of Conscious, but was designed earlier this year by artist James Jean, as shown on his blog in March. We can imagine that the retail art will look like this with some fonts over it, but unless Kwel has changed his mind, this looks pretty sweet. The tracklist for the album has also been revealed, as of this weekend. I heard the track with Nelly when we interviewed Kwel last year, and it’s surprisingly dope – this coming from a non-Nelly fan.
